Now We're Even Lyrics - Michael Penn

Never been to Mexico 

It's only half a mile or so 

the mission on the bluff, below 

Don't get out much 

Crow tastes like chicken meat 

And I've heard cats land on their feet 

If that's a lie 

I want you to delete it 

Was mystified 

Took a Greyhound for a ride 

And by Arcadia 

decided I'd be Steven 

Now we're even 

Please do not take offense 

Salute, two fingers, standard squat 

Jabbed the bag without a sense 

that you knew half what I forgot 

One tug-of-war that pulled me in 

and furthermore, it tipped the balance 

either/or 

Was so deceiving 

It's best I leave in 

Now we're even 

We're caught inside an undertow 

I don't know how to overthrow 

Cocks crow and dogs will bark 

You are swimming in the dark 

On tenderloin a hungry shark is feeding 

I'm warm and dry 

and as the water table's high 

it's pointless to identify 

my destination 

So anchors aweigh 

And if I do my own self say 

there wasn't any better way 

I was conceiving 

Now we're even
